Ping! --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 15:22, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

I was just taking a quick look at the artixcle and I'm very impressed with the progress you've made on it. Massive improvement! Here are a couple of weblinks which might be useful:

• http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/4533367.stm
• http://www.pakdef.info/pakmilitary/airforce/training/index.html

I'm still rather busy, I'm afraid, but I will be much freer soonish. In the meantime, keep up the good work. --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 22:26, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Just letting you know that 'nonsense' does not cover articles in a foriegn language. J Milburn (talk) 12:00, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

The full criteria is "Patent nonsense and gibberish, an unsalvageably incoherent page with no meaningful content. This does not include: poor writing, partisan screeds, obscene remarks, vandalism, fictional material, material not in English, badly translated material, implausible theories, or hoaxes of any sort; some of these, however, may be deleted as vandalism in blatant cases." It does mention material in foriegn languages, but says that it is not covered. Thanks, feel free to message me if I can be of any help. J Milburn (talk) 12:07, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of User:Smsarmad/Userboxes/User AOEII

A tag has been placed on User:Smsarmad/Userboxes/User AOEII requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section U3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it contains a gallery in the userspace which consist chiefly of fair use or non-free images.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[Talk:User:Smsarmad/Userboxes/User AOEII|the article's talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. UzEE!! 04:25, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

I removed the image, rather than deleting the page. WP:CSD#U3 was not appropriate here. - auburnpilot talk 05:04, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:Telenor SIM2.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:Telenor SIM2.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[Talk:Image:Telenor SIM2.jpg|the article's talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Gwen Stefani articles

Hey there, I have notice that you are reverting genres of Gwen Stefani songs. And thanks. Have you warned the Jarma dude? Because I notice he was a sock puppet. BatterBean (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 10:52, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.

A few features that you might find helpful:

• Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
• The announcement and open task box is updated very frequently. You can watchlist it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WPMILHIST Announcements}} there.
• Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
• The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, detailed article and content review, article improvement contests, and other tasks.
• We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
• We've developed a style guide that covers article structure and content, template use, categorization, and many other issues of interest.
• If you're looking for something to work on, there are many articles that need attention.
• The project has a stress hotline available for your use.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Kirill 13:59, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

February 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your comments, which you added in discussion at Risalpur Airbase. Please note that on Wikipedia, consensus is determined by discussion, not voting, and it is the quality of arguments that counts, not the number of people supporting a position. Thank you!  UzEE  14:16, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Links

The links that I am adding are only for one web site and it is a non profit web site which collects articles and facts about Pakistan Army and it's intervention in country's civil machinery and politics. I think that web site is an invaluable information resource and should be added to the related external links. You are a Pakistani and I am feeling that you have a conflict of interest with the inclusion the said link. Who the fuck is User:Blnguyen? 18:53, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we must insist that you assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not on Risalpur Airbase.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Risalpur Runway.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Risalpur Runway.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 04:58, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

RE: List of Victoria Cross recipients by nationality

I have removed the British Raj link from the list because it did not link to a separate list of recipients. The idea behind those headings is that they link to what are effectively subpages, they expand with the list of those recipients from a specific country with a large number of recipients. I didn't understand what you were trying to do. I think I do now. Do you want the link to Indian to link to British Raj? I can do that. Woody (talk) 12:10, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Joint Service Flag Pakistan.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Joint Service Flag Pakistan.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:25, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:Joint Service Flag Pakistan.gif

A tag has been placed on Image:Joint Service Flag Pakistan.gif requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[Talk:Image:Joint Service Flag Pakistan.gif|the article's talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Rollback

You have been granted with the rollback permission on the basis of your recent effort on dealing with vandalism. The rollback is a revert tool which can lessen the strains that normal javascripts such as twinkle put on the Wikipedia servers. You will find that you will revert faster through the rollback than through the normal reversion tools such as javascripts and the undo feature, because the rollback feature does not require fetching the data from the page history and then sending article data back to the Wikipedia server as the javascript requires, therefore you could save time especially when reverting very large articles such as the George W. Bush page. To use it, simply click the link which should look like [rollback] (which should appear unbolded if you have twinkle installed) on the lastest diff page. The rollback link will also appear on the history page beside the edit summary of the lastest edit. For more information, you may refer to this page, alternatively, you may also find this tutorial on rollback helpful.Yamamoto Ichiro 会話 19:32, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

I have been following your work on the Pak army articles. I have been active as well and as user: Sparten have created articles on it (XI Corps Pakistan, 7th and 11th Infantry Divs). Your article on the piffers was very good. I think we can get togther and create more articles. I can pretty much rite the historys of all PA corps, divisions and armies. You have a greater knowledge of wikipeida (such as how to upload pics, create unit boxs, links etc). I think we could do well there.

Thanks

February 2008

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Benazir Bhutto. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Scarian^Call me Pat 14:09, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

You are Vandalizing

You are vandalizing by reverting my edits. It is you who started reverting. After I had pointed out to you at least twice that I have place sound reasons for my edits, then you have placed a remark in the discussion. Well, I am ready to DISCUSS. But you appear biased because of you ethnic affiliation. If there is a complete section on the Possible deal with the President, then what is the need of the phrase in the first place?

Aursani (talk) 14:20, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violating the three-revert rule . Please be more careful to discuss controversial changes or seek dispute resolution rather than engaging in an edit war. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below. Scarian^Call me Pat 14:20, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi Smsarmad, First, here was our conversation:

 Fixed Phone numbers removed. Do you know of others Smsarmad? Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 16:24, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Others??Sorry! Keeper i couldn't get you. Besides that I don't think that there is any need for street addresses, as mentioned by User:Kingturtle, and this article Sargodha also lists street addresses, so does it seem encyclopedic to anyone? --SMS ^Talk 16:36, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

and now my reply

Sorry, Smsarmad, I didn't mean to be confusing. I was meaning, do you know of any other articles that contain phone numbers? If so, you have every right as a good editor to remove them. If the phone number is on a corporate or company article, it is viewed as advertising and violates our relevant guideline. As for street addresses, that conversation is still happening and seems undecided at the moment. Because they are two separate issues, I've moved this section to your talkpage, I hope that is acceptable. So, if you ever see phone numbers on an article, you can remove them, or let me know, and I'll do it! Thanks for your contributions, Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 19:10, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

No problem, I got your message. Let me know if you ever need any help with anything! Happy editing, Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 19:36, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
